For those who didn't quite get the title, I am talking about mostly young kids, teens and some adults who use slang and talk - liek dis. Argh it irritates me, I prefer to use whole words. I don't dislike LOL and LMAO and ROFL but the rest are just.. annoying to me.

Do you talk - liek dis? Do you like it? Do you prefer to talk properly? Is it easier for your fingers not to type that extra letter in? Can you fully understand it when someone talks like that?

Discuss and have fun.

Yes, but only if they do it on purpose for reasons other than mocking people. I "tipe leik dis" when I am imitating what someone else sounds like to me. :P

Meh, I don't really know. As long as I know what they're trying to say, it doesn't bother me.

However, if they're trying to come across as smarter or better than somebody and type like that, I usually call them out on it. "ur/your an idiot" is my personal favorite.

I used to feel like this about how people type:
Argh, I hate it when people type that way. I feel my IQ dropping every second whenever I'm forced to read something like that. But hey, everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
Now I feel it isn't that important, so I feel more like this:
it's the internet, proper grammar and syntax don't matter to me, as long as i understand what someone's trying to tell me. when people go out of their way to make their sentences ridiculous (legible or not) and it's not for comedic purposes, i may get a little annoyed.
But I do tease my friends who type like that all the time and correct them. Even in texts. They get so angry when I do that, but that's the reason why I do it. <3

The most annoying thing is when a wild n00blet appears on a forum and types in shorthand everywhere he goes under the assumption that, "oh, it's the internet, everyone does it." When in actuality, pretty much any place on the internet that isn't a chatroom will scrutinize you for an apparent lack of grammar. >_>

U DER 2 INSUT DA 1337SPK!!!!!?????????????

I hate it. Absolutely hate it. It's okay for someone to use it in a text, because it's faster and saves money, sometimes. On the internet, however...I swear, it's SLOWER to type in 1337 than with proper spelling and grammar. I mean, how much faster could it possibly be to type a 3 rather than an E? The only time anyone should ever have numbers replacing letters is when they're trying to write stuff on a scientific calculator.

I Also Get Annoyed When People Have Broken Shift Buttons. It Doesn't Make You Look Pro, It Looks More Like Your Computer Has Asthma. Just. Like. Continually. Typing. Like. This. To. Prove. A. Point. A. Bit. Is. Okay. But. Any. More. Is. Stupid. missing caps is usually okay for me when talking on MSN or something, but if you're on a forum, please, take your time to write properly!

i can read it, but it's still annoying
i'll use "teh" or "liek" on purpose sometimes to be goofy, but not very often

it also annoys me when people do like "&&;" or double i's all the time or adding ; everywhere to be cute or whatever

i.e.
ii type liike diis &&;; ii'm annoyiing liike dat;;

I sometimes talk like that to my friends when texting, sometimes msn. But I shorten by a letter (So I wouldn't write liek, I'd write lyk). But I try not to when I'm talking on chats etc. Most just when texting because it's quicker.

Wen Im readin sumtin leik dis tho- my brain uses a real, moron voice to read it. Or a little kids voice. It can be pretty annoying seeing it all the time, and it's funny when the person doing it is trying to be taken seriously.

I HaTe wH3N p30pl3 tYpE liKE tHiS tH0Ugh- I can barely be bothered typing like that, it takes longer then typing normally, and looks stupid.

^Epic win. :D

I don't like when people talk "liek dis" because it's annoying to read.

Some people are surprised when they meet a 12 year old that has proper grammar for once. :3 (Me)

i hate it but i also hate when people get mad at you for mispelling some words or not using proper grammar >.>
Yeah that is annoying too. If someone can correct you and tell you exactly how you should have spelled or worded something, then it doesn't matter because your point still gets across.

I generally hate it. There are exceptions, like kidding around, but the fact I hate it is what makes the kidding around funny.

When someone talks liek dis, the chances of friendship dies because I can't deal with it :| That kind of chatspeak rapes my eyes, even if it's a text message.

Yeah. I'm the same way as Yu-chan is. XD

I absolutely HATEHATEHATE chatspeak. I either try to correct the person or ignore them. If they don't respond well to the polite correction, they're immediately marked as a troll or lazy in my book...depending on the severity of the negative response.
